Popis: Summary The goal of the study was morphological analysis based on the profiling method. The ArcGIS was used to determine the morphological characteristics and morphometric indicators in assessing the quality of pistes. Such indicators were used to analyze the pistes of Ukrainian Carpathians resorts. The results of the analysis showed that the pistes have similar morphometric indicators, despite their belonging to different categories of complexity. The constructed graphs of the longitudinal and transverse profiles show that most of the slopes have “problem” areas associated with the presence of “dead zones” and segments with a reverse slope. The proposed algorithm and the results obtained can become the basis for planning new pistes or re-equipping existing ones.
